I remember Dianne as such a sweet, kind and beautiful lady that was always going about doing good. What a wonderful example she has been to our community. Dr. Transtrum was my dentist as a young girl and was always so very kind and gentle. I think those words would describe Dianne as well - kind and gentle. I send my deepest sympathy to all the family and may the good memories of a special mom keep you going. Good parents are such a blessing and you were definitely blessed with great ones. Sincerely, Marva Lu Kesler

I feel so blessed to have been her friend. Nancy, Dianne, and I would call ourselves sisters to one another. You children gave such a tribute to her and your Dad. She truly was one of your biggest fans. I will always remember the love she had for your dad. She missed her Frankie! Be comforted that they are together now and forever. They will be waiting for each one of you. Love, Kathy Murray

Love to all! So sorry we are not there! Been listening to the service online and can't help but have my own memories and thoughts of all the love and compassion and spirit that Aunt Diane had. I so enjoyed all of our family gatherings at your house in Blackfoot. Mom wishes so much that she could have gotten out to come as well. Please reach out to Annie or myself, as mom would love for us to give you her contact information. So many moments have been thinking of Aunt Diane and the family, with much love,

Dianne was my oldest sister. She was truly an angel here on earth for so many people, and especially for her family members. Her family has always been so important to her and first and foremost. She was always there for me at the moments I needed help the most. She would call me at the most amazing moments and lift me up. She had a special gift of being able to receive and act upon promptings. She also had a wonderful gift of making you feel special. She was full of spunk and so much fun! I loved being with her every minute I could. She had an amazing memory and could remember things in great detail. She was full of wisdom, creativity, grace, beauty, kindness, and love. She has always been an inspiration, great example and mentor for me. I hope I have gleaned a portion of her finest qualities! So grateful for her 80th birthday party and the family get together we shared in; it was truly inspirational and so much fun! She will truly be missed. But I know she is not too far away... I sure love you, Diannie Mae! Love, hugs and prayers to all family members.

Dianne and I served together over the years and she was such an inspiration to me. She was like an angel, always there when help was needed. I treasure our friendship and the wonderful phone visit we had a couple weeks ago. The verse "Many people will walk in and out of our lives but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart" is true of my friendship with Dianne. Her sweet spirit will be with you as you all continue your mortal progression.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I grew up next door to the Transtrum family and Dianne was a very loving and caring person. I enjoyed babysitting the children when Mr. & Mrs. Transtrum were gone. I loved the visits I had with her in her home and later our telephone visits. I spoke with her several months ago and enjoyed our visit on the telephone. She will be greatly missed.

Dianne was a sweet, loving lady and I enjoyed getting to know her through the Blackfoot Book club. Her engaging smile and uplifting personality are missed by each of us who knew her. It is a blessing to know that she is now with Frank and her other loved ones. May your good memories sustain you as you mourn her passing.

Dianne was such a delightful, warm person. Im so sorry to hear of her passing. She and Uncle Frank were so dear to our family and I appreciated all the kind and thoughtful experiences I had with both of them. Aunt Dianne always remembered me and my siblings over the years even though we rarely got together. I know she will be missed not only by her immediate family but also by her extended family and friends. I know the Lord is aware of you and will support you during this difficult time of her passing. Love to you all, Cousin, Susan (daughter of Jay and Frances Transtrum)
